OK, I think I understand that more castor (ie going from 4 to 6 degrees) gives more initial steering. Does, and if so how, it have any affect on on-power steering.

I am still learning and have so far equated corner entry with off power steering and corner exit with on power steering.

The reason I ask is that our new layout has a sweeper in it that all the other cars were carving at full throttle. I have been running 6 degree hubs to get more steering but have since adjusted accordingly. Every time I tried to go full throttle through the corner more than 3inches off the boards, my car would swing WAY wide and smack the outer board. Would going back to teh 4* c-hub help recover some on power steering? I had plenty of steering in the infield where it was slow.

Sorry for the long post. Just trying to sort this all out in my head so I can rely on my own knowledge more at the track rather than always buggin Mr. McGoo with my issues.
